Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to paint spray guns, and more particularly to a high volume, low pressure spray gun having a bendable shape-retaining paint conduit.
- Transfer efficiency can be defined as the amount of sprayed fluid material, such as paint, that goes onto subject parts as compared to the amount lost to overspray and bounceback.
- a high transfer efficiency decreases fluid material consumption reduces undesirable deposits on adjacent surfaces, and results in relatively less overspray which improves operator visibility.
- transfer efficiency is a measure of the amount of fluid material dispersed into the ambient air which contributes to environmental pollution.
- Air atomization spray guns broadly fall into two classes.
- One type of air atomization spray gun uses a low volume flow of high pressure air (LVHP) for atomization and pattern shaping.
- the air pressure in such guns may typically be in the 40 psi to 100 psi range.
- the transfer efficiency associated with such guns are far from optimal. This is due to the relatively high air pressures which produces a high degree of overspray and bounceback.
- HVLP high volume, low pressure
- the transfer efficiency of HVLP spray guns is much greater than the LVHP spray guns.
- HVLP atomization utilizes a high volume of air typically delivered at 10 psi or less to atomize fluid material. It is the large volume of air passing in contact with a fluid material in a suitable nozzle assembly which causes atomization of the fluid material.
- a high volume, low pressure paint spray gun connectable to a paint source, an atomization air source and a shaping air source.
- the paint spray gun is provided with a spray gun body which is in fluid communication with the paint source, the atomization air source for atomizing paint and the shaping air source for shaping paint spray patterns.
- ⁇ paint ⁇ and ⁇ paint source ⁇ shall refer to paint, coatings, primers, sealants, veneers, and similar fluid or liquid surface preparations.
- the spray gun is further provided with a nozzle which defines a paint atomizing zone for discharging atomized paint and a paint spray pattern shaping zone shaping atomized paint spray patterns.

- the paint conduit is rotably attachable to the spray gun body through the addition of an input coupling for rotably attaching the paint conduit to the spray gun body.
- the paint conduit is rotably attachable to the nozzle through the addition of an output coupling for rotably attaching the paint conduit to the nozzle.

- the spray gun is a high volume, low pressure device.
- the spray gun is provided with a pressure gauge which may be used to easily monitor the atomization air pressure so as to verify compliance with regulatory constraints.
- the present spray gun is particularly adapted to minimize overspray and bounce back and therefore increase the paint transfer efficiency of the system through the use of the paint conduit.

- the paint conduit is self-supporting. Once the paint conduit is formed into a desired shape, the user need only to support the paint gun body. It is not necessarily required that the use physically hold and support the nozzle. Thus, the spray gun of the present invention truly allows remote access.
